Effect of atopic skin stressors on natural moisturizing factors and cytokines in healthy adult epidermis.

CONCLUSION: Based on experimental exposure to selected atopic skin stressors such as different water types, allergens and SEB, we conclude that NMF levels are decreased along with increased secretion of various skin cytokines in healthy individuals. Our data highlight environmental factors that might play a role in AD pathophysiology, but needs confirmation in AD patients. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
